Almost certainly the second worst thing to happen to Bruce Lee, this toothless and tame movie doesn’t even come close to capturing the great man’s dangerous charisma.
The actors clearly know their moves. It’s the screenwriters who stumble, not them.
The romanticised touches don’t help this account of a private bout involving the martial arts star, pre-fame, in San Francisco.
Two Shifus, two big fights, too simple.
A showdown seems inevitable and the film comes alive during the energetic fight sequences.
This soulless biopic portrays the young kung fu master as insufferably smug.
